maelstrom with their ability to adapt, react, succeed, and
survive.

new role as an independent.

Bentley has secret CO2 plans
The company wants to combine luxury and high-performance hallmarks
with massive cuts in emissions.

Lotus small and manueverable
The engineering arm's technology menu--including lightweight,
small engines, and high performance--is being sampled across the
world.

Gasoline hybrid technology, convergence potential, and diesels
could be in store for the company.

Rethinking intelligence
Automakers explore new ways to spread computing around the vehicle,
